I wonder what the percentage increase is expected with the rapid climate changes from the past 15 years is for the next 38 years? Since climate change is increasing so fast and our govt and admin is almost forcing it to continue at the same rate than this will be moving 140 miles East every 10 years I would expect. This effects the country's population, economy, future pollution, natural disasters, infrastructure, plants and animals lives, urban growth and decay, migration, political agendas, insects and diseases, etc. on top of the farms and products mentioned in the article.
